My brother Craig asked if his band photo from his 1980 rock band was still on display at Chilkoot, a classic (read ‘dive bar’ ) establishment here in Anchorage. Hey yeah, it’s even behind glass under lights. We’ll let Craig comment with the details. Mainly, did that place have the metal detector on the doorway even back then? And did you play behind chicken wire?

Darkstar the band, in their place on Charlie's wall of fame. One has to wonder how many times that glass has been broken. Arrow indicates brother Craig, check out the hair! Click photo to enlarge.
Chilkoot Charlie's side view. I figured the drunks out front might jump me if I took their picture.
We’re hanging in Anchorage waiting to pick up the rest of our crew at the airport early tomorrow morning. Then on to Talkeetna.
